Next Sunday Morning u
Dean A. Thorold-Eller comes to
Alliance as successor to Dean George
O. Ware, who conducted bis last ser
vice as pastor at St. Matthews Episf
copal church last Sunday morning'.
Dean Eller will begin his work at
Alliance next Sunday. He comet
from Grand Rapids,. Mich., where h
has been acting in tha capacity of as
sistant to Dean Francis S. White. I
. The following article, taken from
a Grand Rapids newspaper, tells of
some of Dean Eller's experiences in
the Canadian wilds before going to
Grand Rapids.
The article1 says:
' Before Rev. A. Thorold-Eller came
as curate to St. .Mark's pro cathed
ral, where be in now acting in -the
capacity of assistant to Dean Fran
els S. White, he had some rough and
thrilUrteJ experiences n-jthe. rrt-wt

facts of his strenuous dife in the op

too extreme to be endured.' He came proved several orders listing vast'

Once he fell Into It and was nearly
drowned.' He was on his way to at
tend a fnneraK and had the misfor
tune to lose his balance while at
tempting to moor his light little
skiff. The water was deep, too, he
says, but he managed to scramble
out. Then he dried his clothes the
best way he could, building a fire for
the purpose. He was late to the fun
eral, but the people engaged in it
were still later, so there was no
harm done. "Tlrao docs. not mean
anything in fhat. country," he de
clares. Rev. Eller feels now he Is living
in the 1aj ofdvxury when he remem
bers what hardships had to be endur

England students, destined for the
wilds of Canada. Once landed, the
young men scattered to the four
winds.. A few were given already
established parishes. The majority
of which Rev. Eller formed a part
were taken out, singly, and set down
"in the midst of nowhere,' and told
they must hustle around and find
their own -congregations. '
The hardships endured during the
first weeks and months of this lone
ly existence may perhaps best be im
agined, although Rev. Eller tells the
tale very graphically. He describes
the loneliness of the great sweeping
plains as simply terrific, especially to
one who has been accustomed all his
life to the smallness and the variety
of insular environ. The solitary bird
calls at first drove him nearly to dis
traction. Gradually, however, he
grew to endure with a patience what
at first seemed so frankly awful. In
the end he came almost to love It.
Then he was glad that, when he was
so strongly prompted to give up and
go back to England, he had not cash
sufficient for the purpose. I
He -drove miles andmlles tff a lit
tle rig with which he was provided.
He -found .very, lew people-who cared
anything about church, or who were
not already signed up by a Presby
terian preacher who had Invaded
those part 8 ahead of him. But in
time he managed to find a little log
church: in the i center of what, could
hardly be termed a community, but
which looked as though it might be
able to turn out a dozen or so pious
souls. , He said he would be there to
conduct services the next Sunday, j
' When he arrived, expecting to find
handful, and prepared to. be very
thankful even for that, he found the
little church crowded to the doors.
There were over 40 there waiting tof
mm. What was his Joy to find that
they were, nearly: all of them Church
of , England people, recently comt
across, and mjghty homesick for a
real church service such as those
they had been accustomed to on the
other side. There was also an old
organ In the log building, and there
chanced to. be someone present who
could play hymns-on it. This servf
ice is fervently, described by Rev. Eh-
ler as one he never will forget, and
the most inspired of any held under
his supervision in Canada.
From that time on he was assured
of' plenty to do. The only question.
was, after that, how. one man could
manage to get over so much ground
as was necessary. Every other Sunr
day he wphld drive, over 34 miles ii
going to Jand comiag back from
distant church where there was no
preacher- This trip be used to make
all by himself, and upon one occas
ion the rig broke completely down.
The-box r with the seat-on which be
was sitting, went through to the
ground. " The bind wheels Btarted in
a contrary direction, and in this pre
dicament the unhappy preacher was
hauled some rods before the horse
could be prevailed upon to stop. '
This mishap made him a half hour
late to service, but since the. people
in I hose parts are described as pay
ins no attention whatever to time,
his congregation was not even grown
restive. Some one patched up his
vehicle for him 'with the aid of a
piece of wire, and be managed to get
back home in time to conduct an
evening service i1 , ' i
In the winter time he got over the
ground In a wooden sleigh made very
roughly out of boards and logs.
Though perhaps not much to look at,
the sleigh la sal dto have been most
comfortable.
As may be supposed. Rev. Eller
did not live in any great degree of
luxury. He had a rough little cabin
huddled near the tiny rough church.l
It was really only one room, but
this was divided up with curtains,
and later a kitchen was built on.
Mrs. Eller came out and lived the
same simple and frugal life her hus
band did. ,The first three years of
Rev. Eller's endeavors were spent in
the province of Saskatchewan. He

shows not only, the total area of each
acquisition, but also the present land
and water area of each state and the
portion of each state falling with the
various tracts added to the public do
main. Only two states, Colorado and
Wyoming,' fall into four of the ac
quisitions. As regards Colorado, 40
851 square' miles formed' a portion
of the Louisiana Purchase, 34,478
square miles were originally part of
Texas, l,r21 square miles constitut
ed a portion of the territory acquir

a part of the Louisiana Purchase,
4,784 square miles belonged to Tex
as, 12,349 square miles constituted
a part of the Oregon acquisition and
12,558 square miles was obtained
from Mexlcd. 11 " '
lands affected by this order are
quite widely distributed.' being situ-!
ated In sixteen different counties in'
the state. The greater bulk of the
lands, however, ties In its eastern'
portion. Secretary Lane's order des
ignating them has been mstde effect-1
ive October 10, 1914, and after that,
time prospective entrymen who arej
otherwise qualified will be permitted
to, enter 3 20 acres I
In Washington about 65,000 acres
have been designated as subject to
entry under the provisions of the
Enlarged Homestead act. This land
is in the vicinity of Okanogan irver
and its tributaries In the northern
part of the state. The land immedi-.
ately adjacent to the Okanogan has I
long been settled by homesteaders,
but the higher lands have been giv
en over mainly to grazing. Within
recent years, however, it has been
found that the dry farming of grain
cah be carried on successfully in
these uplands, and it Is these arid
and non-lrrlgable areas of the pub
lic domain that have just been made
available for entry. This order also
becomes effective October 10, 1914,
and all local land offices will be auth
orized to consider applications to en
ter the lands on that' date.
In Arizona the secretary's recent
order increased the area open under
the Enlarged Homestead act 140,000
acres. . The lands designated by this
order Include a considerable area In
the foothills of the town of Nogales,
Arizona, and' also areas of similar
lands farther east above the vallev
of the San Pedro river.' Some of
these lands Include' tracts that have
been requested by individual home
steaders for entry under . the En
larged Homestead act.
Heretofore the greater part of the
land in southeastern New Mexico has
been designated by Secretary Lane
as non-irrigable and subject to entry
under the provisions of the Enlarg
ed Homestead act, but under one of
the orders just Issued a number of
detached areas In Lincoln county
have been designated as open to 'en
try foe enlarged , homesteads About
28,000. acres are . affected by ..this
prder. Details as to their location
and entry can be obtained from the
local land office at Rob well, New
Mexico. '' .''' " ' '
In Colorado the area designated
under the 'Enlarged Homestead act
by .the recent odrer has been increas
ed .by approximately. ) 87,000 acres.
24.000,000 acres. .have hitherto been
designated in the state. Scattered
townships in 'nearly every portion' 'of
the state, are affected by thin order,
which also becomes effective October
10. 1914.

The European war has caused a
big advance in the coBt of thread and

A filed belonging to Frank Gregg
of Merrick county had never receiv

was covered in August, 1912. with
manure -at the." rate of 15 tons per
acre,, and a part left unmanured. The
entire field was plowed, . harrowed,

The value of properly balancing
the rations for dairy cows Is shown
in the instance of F. Nichols of
Beatrice. With a ratloti consisting
of ensilage, alfalfa, and ear cron
meal costing $6.90 per day for 20
cows the average product for three
days was 307 pounds of milk valued
at 3 cents, giving returns of 12.31
per day above cost of feed. With the
ration properly balanced by addition
of oil meat and brarr and decreasing
the ear corn meal, the cost ot feed
for the , same cows , was 16.76 per
day., The average amount of milk
given for three days was S79 pounds,
which at 3 cents gave a profit above
cost of feed of $4.61. The value of
the balanced -ration above that for
merly fed was $2.30 per day In in
creased returns. Extension Bulletin

neys is to filter the blood, : In 24 hours
they strain from it 600 grains of acid

about four ounces of Jad Salts; taks
a tableepoonful in glass of water

days and your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juioe, combined
